Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is acceptance.
Today’s poem is a number poem about how one might shape the
music of one’s fortune.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,

Fortune is like music minus one:
One adds one’s voice to what one has been given.
Remember that, in either rain or sun,
The part one plays should be by beauty driven,
Yearning that will one’s whole session run.
So might one’s music mingle pain and joy,
Engaged in harmony that heals the heart,
Vested in what will one’s loved ones buoy,
Embracing truth with all one’s well-honed art.
Nor need one’s fate one’s happiness destroy.
